Should bravenet.combe consider as a spyware

[flutie1668]

Hi

I recently use Ad-aware SE to scan my system and it found "bravenet.com" as a tracking cookies. My question is should SpywareBlaster protect all existing tracking cookies??? Or SpywareBlaster only prevent spyware being install in certain sites???

Thanks

Hi Bubba

Yes I do understand that, but bravenet.com is not one of them in spywareBlaster. Should it be one of the restricted ad/tracking cookies???

As you probably know....adding sites to Internet Explorer's Cookie or Restricted Sites section can be accomplished quite easily by the user....if they so desire.

Since Securing our systems is what's important....I suggest you consider adding....IE-SPYAD: Restricted Sites List for Internet Explorer (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm#IESPYAD)....as yet another layer of protection in regards to Internet Explorer. It does include bravenet.com as part of it's database....which means it will not only restrict what that site can do....but it will also block it's tracking cookie.
